Meow

150 km

Take a trip. Right now. Within 150 kilometers of you. Where — decide yourself. By car, train, bike, hitchhiking. Don't plan. Just pick a direction and go.

Escape Room

Find an escape room in your city. Gather a team or find strangers on the spot — many are looking for group members. Pick a theme that scares you. Go through it. Escape — heroes. Don't escape — still heroes.

Dare

Walk out your door. You have one minute. Find the moment and jump forward five times. Right there on the street. Doesn't matter who's watching. One minute — five jumps.

Stranger

Walk up to a stranger on the street. Say something kind. A compliment, a thank you, just a warm word. And walk away. Nothing more. Don't introduce yourself, don't explain. Just gift someone a moment.

Day of Silence

Pick a day in your calendar. One day — yours. No gadgets. No calls. Maximum silence. Just you, your thoughts, nature, a walk, something you love. If you really need to break it — no problem, break it. But try to hold on. You'll be surprised by what you hear when everything else goes quiet.
